First, by design, the project is able to track and analyse educational outcomes of large numbers of children and measure the efficiency of programmes and organisations from the ground up.
By identifying high operating costs associated with the incumbent manual monitoring system, it was possible to demonstrate improved cost efficiency of the programme.
The communication policy is a part of the strategy, not only to improve the efficiency of the programme but also to make the implementation of additional radars devices socially acceptable.
There is no way to accurately measure the efficiency of the programme, as there is insufficient attention in the reports concerning costs and benefits in economic terms.
However, efforts at increasing efficiency of a programme by increasing scale have to take into consideration that this does not lead to compromise of quality of services provided.
Cost effectiveness assessments are usually about assessing the technical efficiency of a programme, assessing in terms of achieving a single, narrow objective.
The challenge we face as academic and professional programmes in public health is growing as quickly as possible to meet the vast unmet community need, but in a way that ensures the sustainability, effectiveness and efficiency of the programme.
In an effort to re-address the (in) efficiency of the programme, the French National Cancer Institute has drafted an expert-group review of the ethical issues surrounding breast cancer mammography screening.
Programme contributes to achievement of MDGs overall and particular Goal 7, and to UNDAF Lao PDR Outcome 6, 7 and 10 Efficiency of the programme interventions was rated: Good UNICEF works with trusted Implementation Partners (Nam Saat), longstanding relationship makes work easy.
The same report [ 9] also showed that in the absence of double reading of radiographies, 1.4% of abnormal images were missed, there was a higher rate of false-negatives, and OS screening structures were underused which reduces the efficiency of the programme.
